Digital camera reviews of LaCie 301103U F.A. Porsche 500 GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: Failed after 1 year
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product in early 2007 and it became malfunctional after 1 year of use. It showed some signs of breaking down a couple of days before it completely went down - like failure to mount 1 out of three times, weird starting sound, etc. - and I regret that I should've backed up my data at that time. Anyway, I continued to use it ignoring the premonitions and all of a sudden it completely blacked out.
I set it aside for a couple of months after its failure, and wondering if the hard disk itself was still alive, I took it apart - it's so hard to disassemble the unit that I had to use brutal force to crack open it - and took out the hard disk. Using a SATA-to-USB connector, I hooked it up to my desktop Windows machine and voila! it showed up alive and I was able to back up all my precious data.
All in all, it was the enclosure problem, not the hard disk problem after all. I guess LaCie needs to make the controller board strong enough for this kind of repetitious stressful jobs.
